Universal access to family planning is a fundamental human right that must be respected, including in times of crisis and public health emergencies. The COVID-19 pandemic can affect reproductive behavior and intentions in a number of ways. Restrictions on the provision of services in the context of COVID-19 reduce access to family planning services and may increase the short-term fertility rate. At the same time, the economic uncertainty generated by the pandemic and its impact on mental health and well-being can lead to reduced fertility rates. In the Republic of Moldova, the epidemiological situation generated by COVID-19 has influenced the population's access to family planning and contraceptive services, resulting in the decreased use of contraception by women of reproductive age (15-49 years), or their partners. As a result, the unmet need for family planning and the demand in family planning services using modern methods of contraception have registered lower levels than expected. Therefore, the indicators suggest that reduced access to contraception and counseling, generated by the precarious epidemiological situation, could disrupt family planning.
